Developing Africa?

“In Developing Africa? New Horizons with Afrocentricity, Lehasa Moloi positions African culture and agency as the central foci for the development of Africa. Moloi makes a brilliant case for why Africa should not seek to chase Europe but instead pursue a type of development that is based on the epistemological paradigms germane to the African cultural-historical matrix.” —Taharka Adé, author of W.E.B. Du Bois’ Africa: Scrambling for a New Africa, and Assistant Professor, Africana Studies, San Diego State University, USA.

“This book hastens the Afrocentric turn in Development studies. It not only escapes the coloniality of development studies theories but demonstrates why it needs to be done and how to do it. It will significantly contribute to the transformation of Development studies in Africa to Afrofuturism studies.” —Olusegun Nelson Morakinyo, Visiting Research Fellow, School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics, Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK; Research Associate, Department of History, UNISA, South Africa
